Perfect Strategy:

T5: Swamp + The Rack and/or a flipped Nezumi Shortfang or even another Nyxathid to generate pressure. You can also keep the field controlled with Victim of Night. Now you have to be aggressive in play, and don't let the other play anything. Use your discard spells wisely! That should mean GG by turn 6 or 7.

I think you should include some graveyard robbing. After discarding all those cards You will have plenty of options to take. Good focus already but, i could see grave robbing them for the easier win as well.

Also, if you want more than four Sign in Blood then you can use Night's Whisper. It's almost never worse, and if you really need the two damage of a Sign in Blood on your opponent, then two cards should give it to you.

I'd also look at Mutilate or Drown in Sorrow to keep you alive, as most 8-Rack builds run Ensnaring Bridge to allow the slow win-con to have time to work. Obviously that card is quite expensive though, so some budget in-colour sweepers will probably do the job, and gain you virtual card advantage. Of course, I'm used to creatureless 8-Rack, but maybe one Mutilate mainboard in place of a Victim of Night and 1 or 2 in the board against aggro/midrange?
